Your videos are such high quality! Thank you
thank you so much for these tips! I was stuck on my personal statement for a few months now because I had so much I wanted to say yet I didn't know how to. this helped me a lottttt as I FINALLY finished my personal statement today :) thanks again!
Oh my gosh this is really helpful I totally loved the tips in the video including the ones from Ali himself! With just one month left before the deadline for medicine entries on UCAS this is really the utmost feedback one can receive to help with the dreaded personal statement! God bless everyone XOXO
My daughter wants study medicine, I have forwarded this post, very interesting.
* you want your daughter to study medicine
@@Spectrz My daughter is independent minded , I had no influence over her choice of degree .
Ali is Love. Ali is Love. Thanks for the informative vid bro.
Great points! For any personal statement really.
This is very handy!
Ali I love your content and it would be even better if the blue writing between clips stayed on a little longer. And also if you converted the part where you spoke about what the next couple clips will be into just the blue writing because it’s more useful that way ^^
Such a helpful video! thank you !
Thank you so much for this video. It's so helpful.
this was very helpful, really looking forward to the video with bmat tips as my daughter will sit that this November and it would be great if u could also recommend any courses that would be helpful for that
Any important tips about BMAT Maths content? You alluded to a maths content video but I can't seem to find it. Thanks for all the tips!
Thanks!!
HUGE THANKS!!!
I’m falling in love with this cutie (Ali) 😂💖 love you ✨🙏💕
What if i’m still in high school and never did work experience , but i still want to study medicine. Would that affect my PS and my interview.
Btw i’m in the UAE but considering taking med school in the UK
Yea it would. You need work experience
I'm in year 9 going to yearr 10 and I'm in australia, wanting to go to Oxford.... I think I'm fricked
Hello!! I just watched your video and I loved it!!! It was very helpful. This might be really weird but I'd like to know if you could check my personal statement and give your opinion on it please
very good .
I thought the last two tips were really helpful. Recently, I've been getting very conflicting advice about my work experience. Some medics are suggesting that the paragraph should not be so passive as I'm talking about other people's skills. However, I'm still 17 so I wasn't allowed to do anything on my work experience; I only observed and shadowed. I tried to make it less passive by discussing how I interacted with a patient but then they said the paragraph says nothing about my skills??
Ali Abdaal thanks for replying :)
Hi Ali, are you able to check my personal statement?
If so, is there an email address I can send it to?
Thanks.
Can I email my personal statement to you? @Ali Abdaal
This was so helpful. Thank you. May I get your email by the way please
How exactly can I link my paragraphs and make my personal statement flow
